Really a long time since i edited my blog...reasons for a sudden trip to the city which mite be my future home - the city of all IT dreams - Bangalore...
After my best friend set off on July 7th, dejectedly staring at the pc at nice brought me upon the arrival of a red letter mail in my gmail inbox...i rubbed my eyes to see nuthin but a call from Motorola for a technical test...(i had applied to the company some days back)...well n the test was the day after that day - Saturday 9th in the morning at 10 am...
The events that followed were fast-paced and hectic...had a brief sleep only of about 3 hrs dat nite after havin packed the luggage and arranged my certificates etc for which mom n dad woke up to and helped me out..the next day the bus tickets were taken n bfore i knew it, i was takin a nap on the KSRTC bus to Blore...
After quite a long journey (realised that day dat KSRTC buses dont take the margao - karwar route but go via Hubli)...reached Bangalore at around 7:30 am n there were only 2 hrs or so to reach the company for the test...had already called Kiran (introducing my close friend who was having his final semester internship at Motorola that time)...his brother Arun( introducing my second closest pal) came to pick me up from Navrang theatre where i got off the bus n took me home...
After a quick bath and breakfast i was off to Motorola with Kiran in a rickshaw (cost us 90 bucks - the b**st***s...daylite robberies i tell u...da test began exactly at 10..was surprised to see that it was totally a new paper and none like the questions of the recent test papers which Kiran had sent me the previous day...howeva got into the mood immediately n found that the test was fine - not so bad after all...da link-list data structure programs seemed comfy too...although the second program dint make ne sense (remind me to revise my theory of short n long integers later)...
Once da test was done my primary objective of being at Blore was done...n the remains was to enjoy with my friends..meet my best friend and party!!...This of course was to follow in da next 3-4 days...now yeah..cant possibly rite down evry bit of it...just a gist of da events...
Spent most of the time at their house as mostly Kiran was busy later...so was with Arun...met my best friend a couple of times...she was placed in Siemens and was stayin in a guesthouse temporarily given by them - in contrast with another friend who was stayin in a posh colony (ahem! Raheja Residency)...also managed to check out some cool places like Forum at Kormangala with Kiran where lunch was at McDonalds...and also had dinner at a nice place called Green Onion on Brigade Road (man i luv those places)...
Managed to catch Sarkar on Monday the 11th...a FANTA FABULO movie...RGV(Ram Gopal Verma) does it again...with absolutely brilliant performances from the entire starcast - especially AB bfore the interval and AB Jr after the interval - a nicely balanced version...go watch it - i saw it for 45 bucks at Tribhuvan near Majestic...but u can catch it at PVR or neother multiplex...the movie is even worth a 150 buck ticket...!!!
Also stayed over with my cuz on Wednesday nite...a bachelor who works at Wipro Embedded and is a real great guy...have always loved his company coz i can get to learn so much from him...maybe i shall be stayin with him in the near future..n maybe dat shall be too early from now...the mocks are gonna start soon n i dont know when i shall land up next in Blore coz Caritor isnt yet out with our joinin letters...
All said and done all the party time overshadowed my loss of the job - i cudnt make it thru the test...cudnt understand why but yeah was dejected as it had been one in a million chance...howeva decided i shall try my best for a better job in Blore...
Left on Thursday n was back on Friday the 15th mornin at Goa...intime to see my grandma who had arrived last week (sigh!)...Blore had whiffed away like a dream but seemed more than real to me now...sumtin bout the city -
Bangalore had changed from good to bad n to WORSE now...movement in the traffic had been sickenin and tiresome...we mostly roamed on bikes (Arun's new Wind)...but used to get terribly bugged when caught for long in a jam with the traffic counters showin 90 minutes to go etc etc...howeva the pollution and travel with the traffic maybe were the things which did make me lose out on a lot of energy when i arrived at Goa back..dats why my health hasnt been so good in the last 3 days..howeva i am feelin much better today...reasons enugh for editing the blog...
Blore is cool n happenin if u want it to be...in reality the city of dreams for an IT professional but even worse that Mumbai in several other cases as i have noticed...
Check it out!!!
